Do you consider your family to be your friends and your friends to be your family?

Oh ya, for sure They even call for advice sometimes He's my very 'bestes friend'...LOL Although we're good friends with all the brothers, sisters and their spouses...it's still not the 'warm fuzzy' feeling of being best friends with our kids. Friends being family: All through the years of living in various town and neighborhoods in New England...we made many friends...some close friends, but they never felt like 'family'. There was always a certain 'reserve' about them...hard to explain.

But, when we retired to NW Florida, we were one of the first few to live on our street. We met the few neighbors that lived here...and there was a 'warm acceptance'. But, as each new home was built and we got to know the new families, there became a special kinship that developed.

Many of them are just as close as if we were actually 'family'. Just to know that any one of us could call on each other any time of day or night is so comforting. It's just so great to be with people with whom you can 'just be yourself'...and they love ya just for who you are...and the feeling is mutual.

Friends to be family Most of my family members aren't worth being friends with, though I love them anyway. We move around a lot so we don't really get to see family much anyways since we are now in Europe. So, the friends that I have made along the way have become family to us and we are family to them.

I don't think true family has to be blood relations. There are some people that are so dear to you that they are family. My karate family in Colorado is the family that I miss the most from the States.

I cried when I left them not when I left my flesh and blood family. My friends are the ones I can count on when I need the rare shoulder to cry on or to simply lean on. Don't get me wrong, I do have family members that I think the world of and consider friends but there's not many of them..

Friends and family I used to consider my family my friends,the closest people in the world to me, the ones I could count on the most,no more. It seems they are the first to betray me and back bite.

Yes and No I don't consider my family to be my friends but I definitly consider my friends to be my family .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
